Bloom’s ingenious anti-rom-com was one of last year’s best shows. It might be even better this year. Read full review

Throw in a few dynamite song and dance numbers, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend feels just as joyful, courageous and ambitious as we left it. Read full review

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has only gotten better, more confident, and more consistent as it's moved along. It knows exactly who its heroine is, what she's good at and what makes her terrifying, just as well as it has very quickly and appealingly figured out how to turn any potential weaknesses into additional strengths.

Yet, for all its jam-packed insanity, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend can be one of the tube’s most perceptive and moving shows. Read full review

The whole thing comes wrapped in music: a couple of typically clever original numbers, and incidental touches such as a novel use for Scott Joplin’s ragtime touchstone “The Entertainer.” Even the show’s theme song undergoes a re-think; as Rebecca explains, it’s “an emotional thesis statement for myself.” It’s this kind of self-consciousness--tart and pointed, yet not excessively vain--that gives Crazy Ex-Girlfriend its lift.

There are times when things feel just a little off. Perhaps because of pressure to meet the high expectations set by season one or just some minor challenges finding its footing in season two, the writing occasionally comes across as forced, especially with regard to the Rebecca-Josh-Greg triangle.

Girlfriend remains stubbornly weird, including in an avant garde musical number (pictured above and after the jump) that proudly proclaims it busted the show's budget. Read full review

This show reminds me of Flight of the Conchords. What sets this apart from FOTC, though, is that the dialogue between characters is as funny as the songs and the storyline is stronger, whereas in FOTC the bits in between the songs just felt like filler to set up the next song.

'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' is probably the most underrated show on television right now. It's amazingly well-acted, tremendously funny and creative, leaving us 'adorably obsessed' by it.

Last season, we saw Rebecca moved into town and changed everyone's life. This season, the people around her are waking up and trying to make positive changes to their life, whilst Rebecca is still stuck in her love problems.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Improved on the first season. While the first season mainly focused on Rebecca's pursuit Josh, this season took the wiser choice going down differing paths creating more varied content.

***
Unfortunately, Greg, one of the best characters leaves after only a few episodes. His absence is felt and the new guy who replace him works, but can't compare.

Valencia becomes a main character this season and I love it. Last season, she was wasted as the mean competition. This season she's fully utilized and works great with Rachel. Nice to they toned down Donna's manic blind-sightedness.

The show is still very funny, not as many songs that land, but the ones that do are great. The recurring cast at Rachel's office is expanded upon to great effect. Most importantly, the show goes to greater efforts to break down rom-com stereotypes looking Rachel's expectations through a blend of humor, horror, and sympathy.… Expand

I binged for like 4 days. The first season was awesome. But they should have stopped there. I can't deny the satirical genius of Rachel Bloom, but the once stirring and volatile show has become prosaic and mundane. It's once appealing satire has become trite and played out. I haven't even made it to season three so i can't imagine how nauseating that story will be.… Expand

I thought the 2nd season was a dud. She went from the cute kind of crazy, to the uncomfortable kind of crazy.

I have zero excitement for season 3 at this point, not even sure I'll watch unless I'm really bored at work.… Expand
